Strutta Puts On Its Game Face

Although the video competition site only took the wraps off the site late last night/early this morning, CEO Danny Robinson and the Strutta crew have already scored a triple combination of positive coverage over at TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and Mashable.

While I haven't personally taken up a challenge on Strutta yet (pasty ginger guy + bad lighting = horror), our own Warren Frey is already busy representing Team Techvibes on the site with his...skills. I'll leave it at that. (Disclosure: I sit in the Strutta offices, mooching their Wi-Fi and spectacular view. They just wouldn't shut up about this thing. There, are you happy now Danny?)
